Memoir, anecdote and meaningful other: Shreds 11-20
Nan Love: My nan had recently had a fall and I'd gone to visit her, but as I hugged her, I felt something soft and malleable in my hand…
The Scratching: Rats move into my loft, causing a rat phobia from my childhood to re-surface. I set about understanding my enemy and observe the emergence of murderous feelings towards them.
Waste Management: A facetious suggestion that hospital waste could be recycled and used as a meat alternative.
I Swear, You Swear: At age seven I persuade a fellow pupil to swear. We swear at passers-by, awarding ourselves points based on the severity of their reactions.
Knit Love Not War: After learning to knit, I have an idea to create a more peaceful world through 'Knit and Natter' parties.
Fight, Fight! Through having to defend myself from school bullies, I discover an inner rage.
Hans Free: A tongue-in-cheek look at driving while using a mobile phone.
Run Reynard: A satirical look at fox hunting, offering solutions to nuisance foxes in the form of 'fox utopias'.
Islands in the Stream: A fanciful tale about the relationship between Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. A story about love, rejection and a song ruined with cringy 'aha's'.
Model Behaviour: Disillusioned with the posts on offer, I take a cynical look at the staged photos of those in employment on the wall of the Job Centre. Viewing them as prisoners, caught up in a system that serves its own needs, I enter into an imaginary conversation with 'Joe'.
Picking up a guitar - along with recreational drugs - I found therapy through an anarchic yet unsustainable lifestyle. After numerous shitty jobs and spells of unemployment, I cleaned up my act (a bit) and rediscovered a child-like wonder with the natural world - a connection that has ultimately been my saviour.
Seduced by mountains, I headed for the wilds of Cumbria, where with a Blues Harp I busked and played in local bars, before a virus with a household name had its way and a shocking end of an unhealthy relationship left me facing homelessness.
I love to amuse myself and make sense of things, and have always kept a diary and scribbled on the back of envelopes; caught in the flow. Now with head and heart aligned, I write in earnest, most mornings while it's still dark.
